Answer
Individuals do not apply for work visas. Instead, potential employers submit the application on behalf of the prospective employee.

A police record must be submitted as a part of the application process. The application is then evaluated as a whole. It is up to the Immigration department to determine if whether a DUI conviction will prevent your application from being successful.

I would suggest being open with any prospective employer and discussing your concerns from the outset.
